Wow! New Nikon D70
 

Just saw and handled one of these for the first time today at a local photography shop.

OMG, you'll fall in love with this camera the minute you hold it in your hands.

Nikon really knows how to build a solid piece of equipment.

:thumbsup

How much do they run?

Yeah, that's the one I really want to get.

I'm pricing them online now. Looks like the $1,299 range with the 18-70 DX lens. (27-105mm film equivalent).

The lens is gorgeous and looks pro level.

nice cam!

i like that cam

Nice ! Nikon make great cameras :thumbsup


psst turn on your icq :winkwink:

Geeze... Where are all the Rebel people from my thread when I was drooling over the D70? I WILL be getting one, cuz I can use the Nikkor lenses from my F5 as well!

I prefer my Canon 10D :glugglug

i agree!!! :thumbsup

nice cam ... anything in the same price rang ?

I'm not a pro, but I kind of prefer that one :)

I checked out that one also. Not even close to the Nikon.

Yeah the Nikons are nice... I try and stay away from buying cameras because I know I will have to buy some expensive lenses to go along with it... :(

Get a high end point and shoot like the coolpix 8700. It's not a 10D or D70. If you're not shooting content all day it's a good all around camera. Covers many needs. You could get by with it for starters.

What a really good camera for 600 or less?

Hey KRL,

If you are checking out comparisons, can you do me a favor? I have lots of old nikon lenes. But have top of line pentax lenes and thinking about buying the pentax digital. On ebay I could sell two of my lenes (and they are not my favorites) and buy the nikon kit, what would you? :)

I'll stick with my 10D :thumbsup

Ditto, My 10D rocks. This Nikon came out after I bought mine, and it looks nice but I wouldn't trade.

I really research equipment before buying and so far this Nikon is just amazing. I'd go for that if I were you. I would have bought it today, but the fucker had the price jacked up $200 over the range its supposed to be. I guess the demand is so high they can get away with that crap at retail locations.

I'm getting the new Nikon SB 800 Flash to go with it.

I love my D100. I'm sure the D70 is sweet and solid.:2 cents:

Canon G5

yum, now thats sexy....:Graucho

Didn't you buy a canon 300D only a few months ago??

Held off when I heard the D70 was about to be released. Happy I did, the Canon isn't as sweet as the D70.

I'm planning on getting one of these sweet cams tomorrow.

I've already decided that the D70 as my next camera.

I've just thrown down for a grip of new lenses over the past few months which include...

Nikkor 18mm 35mm Wide Angle ED
Nikkor 50mm 1.4D
Nikkor 28-80mm D
Nikkor 70mm-300mm D

Along with my new SB-50DX Speedlight Flash.

I'm currently using a Fuji S1 Pro DSLR which only good for web now. I need something with more MP for print and this seems like the ideal candidate for price and function!

Thanks. So far every nikon dealer (usa) is telling me to go with the pentax body with my lenes verses my old nikon stuff.

Will do more research :)

Yep, problem with all the digitals is the 50k pic limit before they die...we always have one getting shipped back for replacement.

Amazing how my old Nikon F1 last 15 years with bangs and dents and kept working...and the digitals are good for a few months

I never heard that before.... definetly something to consider...

Does not compare to a digital SLR.

that thing is really odd in shape too... and not even close to doing what an SLR can do..

piece of shit

go and read some reviews ... looks pretty good, but that's all, quality of images is horrible

The Nikon is a nice camera. :thumbsup

very nice camera

I like Nikon cameras.. but I noticed that Fuji S1 and S2 Pro cameras put out the best color straight out of the camera w/out any editing.
